SAN JOSE, CALIF. -- January 26, 2010 --
Forte Design Systems announced
today that MegaChips Corporation of Osaka, Japan, has selected
Cynthesizer(tm) SystemC high-level synthesis software from Forte Design
Systems(tm) for development of its system-on-chip (SoC) designs.
MegaChips has been developing LSI products for high-end and
widespread digital applications, such as game machines, digital cameras,
audio-visual equipment and terrestrial digital broadcasting
applications. After evaluating multiple high-level synthesis tools on
two different kinds of design, one for control and the other for
datapath, MegaChips chose Cynthesizer for its hardware and electronic
system level (ESL) design needs.
MegaChips selected Cynthesizer because it can produce high-performance
register transfer level (RTL) code, its handles design reuse better than
its competitors and it makes RTL tradeoff easier. MegaChips' engineers
and senior management noted that their evaluation confirmed that
Cynthesizer's advanced capabilities and Forte's best-in-class support
team made Cynthesizer the best choice for their next business.
"MegaChips' evaluation highlights the robust feature set offered by
Cynthesizer, our compelling quality of results and advanced datapath and
control designs," adds Brett Cline, Forte's vice president of marketing
and sales. "We're delighted to be chosen as a MegaChips preferred
vendor."
